Nearly 100 Groups Support Strong Implementation of Medicare Negotiation Program

Families USA, Center for Medicare Advocacy, and Public Citizen were joined by nearly 100 other organizations, representing consumers, labor, health care providers, and patients, to support the Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the effort to quickly and fully implement the Medicare Negotiation Program and other critical reforms to improve affordability and access to prescription drugs included in the Inflation Reduction Act.

The legal challenges, brought forward by big drug companies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Infusion Center Association, are a threat to this important progress and are putting greed before people’s health and wallets. The undersigned organizations stand with HHS and CMS as they continue to implement this program and fend off drug companies’ disingenuous threats.
